A prayer for the little ones
Please say a prayer for the children killed in the church fire outside Waco 19 years ago today. Whatever crimes their parents may or may not have committed, the children deserved better.

Re: A prayer for the little ones
I was at a deposition in Chicago when Waco burned. It was the deposition of a scientist who was going to be a witness in thousands of breast implant cases and we had almost 100 attorneys in the ballroom. About 40 of us were Texas attorneys, the rest scattered from all over the country but primarily in the north and northeast.
There were so many of us, they had to have video monitors all over the ballroom. During breaks, they switched to cable TV. During one break, the video switched to cable TV and the Waco compound was an inferno. The "other" lawyers started cheering and clapping. It was an unbelievable sight, both the slaughter of innocent people including children, and so-called civilized people cheering in a blood-lust reminiscent of the Roman amphitheater (a/k/a Colosseum).
Prior to that moment, all of the attorneys got along well. For two years we had been friends; we traveled the country together, ate together, talked about families together, covered for each other when illness or family problems forced someone to leave. When the cheering started, the friendship ended. A few of the Texas lawyers were taking off coats and rolling up sleeves, but guess what the cheering cowards did at that point. They did what low-life cowards always do; they backtracked, claimed they never meant to offend anyone, then tried to justify that which cannot be justified. To this day, I would not drag one of them out of the street if they were about to be run over by a bus. I know, it's not a good attitude for a Christian.
